Attitude of Gratitude

This is where I am. I stand in grace and favor, thankful for a successful surgery. I am appreciative of all of the love and support that was poured unto my family.

However, I have also allowed myself to mourn and acknowledge the seemingly unfair position that my family is in. I accept and recognize my anger in having to watch my husband go through this tough journey, watch my children grasp the idea that they are losing their father, and deal with my own loss freedoms.

Everyday that I visit with him though, I am beholden of the fact that he is sane and we are able to talk and laugh and enjoy each other. It is a blessing that he continues to wake up and fight to continue on.

I’ve had the hard conversation of informing him that if he is tired of the fight, I understand and will not ask him to hold on any longer just for us. I have promised him that our family will be okay.

Going through this I’ve learned that I have bad days, but not a bad life. I learn to show a little more compassion to others. I try to check on everyone. You just never know. Tomorrow isn’t certain. Be a blessing for someone while you are here💜
